Joh. L. Unstad (Johluns) Sjøhus on Vestvågoy

Johluns is a fine example of a traditional fisherman seahouse (Sjøhus), where, in days past, the fishermen lived upstairs while the fish production was made downstairs. The fish was salted, hanged up ty dry in the fresh air to be stockfish or skipped away fresh.
The fish production at Maervoll ended in the early 1970ies, and therefore this accommodation is one of the most original seahouses on the Lofoten islands.

Johluns is located in a fjord and mountain area with view to the almost 1000 meters high mountains Himmeltindene (the Heaven Peaks), which an author described as one of  the cathedrals of the Lofoten islands.

This seahouse rents out rorbu rooms and is spacious with special good opportunities for backpackers, youth groups and other low budget groups.
